Obama Sees "Straight Line" from Sarah Palin to Donald Trump

President Barack Obama said that the beginnings of Donald Trump's unlikely rise to power can be found in the Republican party's embrace of Sarah Palin in 2008 when she ran for vice president, according to an interview with New York Magazine published Monday.

"I see a straight line from the announcement of Sarah Palin as the vice presidential nominee to what we see today in Donald Trump, the emergence of the Freedom Caucus, the tea party, and the shift in the center of gravity for the Republican Party," Obama said in the wide-ranging interview with New York's Jonathan Chait. "Whether that changes, I think, will depend in part on the outcome of this election, but it's also going to depend on the degree of self-reflection inside the Republican Party."

I think my neighbor is conflicted looking at their yard signs

I just took the dog for a walk and noticed a house around the corner from us has a sign for Trump and another for Stien.

Either they are conflicted, or don't realize they are running for the same office.

Unless the man never leaves the house, I think it is a single woman living there, I have met her walking dogs and already thought she was a little off, this would confirm it.
